Chance for a Dance | Just a Kiss GxB Paranormal Romance
I had to do something. If I didn't help--Mercurius's aniumus might be killed. And I didn't even know what that would mean.
I dove for the attacking serpent, grabbing it around the back of the neck--if snakes even have necks--and trying to pry it free.
Maybe it worked. Maybe because it wasn't expecting me to grab it, because the man directing it wasn't expecting that either.
The serpent's bite loosened enough that Mercurius's animus could pull away.
I fell back, scrambling on hands and knees to get away.
At the same time, Mercurius fell back. His injured animus reared between me and the advancing serpent and Mercurius shouted, "Back door. Go now!"
